Framed Persian Miniature Painting in Moorish Micro Mosaic Inlaid Marquetry Frame – Indo-Persian Artwork Stunning Middle Eastern Persian miniature painting, exquisitely hand-painted and framed in a vintage Moorish micro mosaic inlaid frame. This collectible piece showcases the refined elegance of Islamic art, merging the rich traditions of Persian miniature painting with the intricate craftsmanship of khatam marquetry. The finely detailed painting depicts a 19th-century royal polo scene, featuring royal princes dressed in traditional Maharaja attire riding horseback in vivid, vibrant color. The square-shaped frame is masterfully handcrafted using the ancient Persian technique of khatamkari, a meticulous form of micro mosaic inlay. This time-honored art form utilizes tiny slivers of wood, bone, and metal to create delicate geometric and floral Moorish designs—reminiscent of works found in the Doris Duke Islamic Art Collection and other notable museum holdings. The micro mosaic inlay, also known as Sadeli work, is a rare and highly sought-after craft, especially when combined with the luminous detail of a Persian miniature. This piece is a true testament to Indo-Persian artistry, offering both visual opulence and historic significance. Features: * Antique handcrafted Moorish frame with geometric Islamic design * Persian miniature painting on shell with royal polo scene * Museum-quality Indo-Persian craftsmanship * Frame dimensions: 13" x 9.25" * Ideal as a collector’s piece, wall décor, or focal point in any sophisticated interior * A rare fusion of Islamic, Persian, and Indian decorative arts circa 1950s. Perfect for collectors of Islamic art, Middle Eastern antiques, or enthusiasts of fine marquetry and micro mosaic inlay, this piece brings historical richness and unparalleled craftsmanship to your space.

Technique: Tempera and oil on wood Dimensions: 25 x 11 x 8 cm Description: This exceptional work from the 12th century represents the Seated Virgin with Child (Sedes Sapientiae), standing out as an artistic treasure from medieval Spain. The portrayal of the Virgin enthroned with the Child on her lap is emblematic of Romanesque art, and this particular piece is a valuable and authentic example of that era. The current polychromy belongs to the Gothic period and overlays the original Romanesque layer. It is crucial to highlight that the current state of the artwork is the original, without any cleaning interventions, imparting a unique authenticity. The work exhibits architectural characteristics typical of Romanesque art, evident in the sides of the throne. The rigidity and symmetry characteristic of this style are reflected in the firm presentation of the Baby Jesus, noticeable in his gesture while holding his son. The Virgin wears a crown, symbolizing her royal character as the Queen of Heaven and Creation. Both figures retain traces of polychromy on the face and attire, adding layers of history and authenticity. While similar Romanesque Virgin...

A very fine and rare miniature bracket timepiece made by one of Britain’s most revered horological partnerships. The eight day single fusee movement held by four turned pillars with anchor escapement, adjustable lenticular pendulum and hold fast, is of exceptional quality. Housed in an ebonised and glazed bell top bracket clock case of a design particularly associated with this firm, the silvered roman dial with subsidiary date dial in the break arch is signed and also on back plate. This clock is in excellent original condition with a fully glazed back door and side panels with the U shaped carrying handle, a distinctive trademark of Grimalde and Johnson, standing on turned acorn feet. William Johnston is first recorded in partnership with Peter Grimalde between 1810 and 1825, before setting out on his own, Grimalde & Johnston were celebrated precision chronometer makers, and are known for making this style of miniaturised bracket clock during this period in very limited numbers. Examples of clocks by Grimalde and Johnson can be found in, “The Georgian Bracket Clock, 1714-1830” by Richard Barber and “English Bracket and Mantel Clocks” By Andrew Nicholls...
